I am a college student at GRCC in Auburn and have been a caregiver for ever since I could remember. I have a really good understanding about kids because I have four younger siblings who I would babysit. Also, babysitting kids that were a difficult at times has been a challenge, but finding the right approach to a child was my reward. When babysittng I really dont have any specific caregiving philosophys but I want the child/children to have fun with me, not just sit in front of the TV but get some exercise into their bones. I always try to be gentle, understanding and patient with the kids. As for entertainment I usually play games that come to mind or what the kids feel like playing, outside if weather permits or safely inside. I volunteer at my church as a library administrator. Helping people find the right book, see if we have it checked out or not, or to just explain what the book is about. Im originally from Ukraine and speak fluently in Ukrainian and Russian and English of course.
Kate did a wonderful job with our three children. We brought her with us on a business trip. She stayed with my 4 and 2 year old daughters and my 4 week old baby boy. She follows directions well and my children loved her. I did not give her five stars because she lacks a little bit in communication. I like to know, in detail, how the children did after I return. Other than that, I feel comfortable with her and would use her again. - Sommer C.

Having Kate babysit was a wonderful experience. She has a pleasing personality and seems to be very confident, which made me very comfortable leaving for the evening. My daughter took to Kate right away. While I finished getting ready upstairs I could hear my daughter giggling and laughing – music to my ears. They did not have to resort to TV all evening, which is also something I appreciate in a babysitter. I had told Kate about a medication my daughter was to take, but I forgot to put it out for her. Kate attempted to contact me at bedtime in order to give my daughter her medicine. I am very happy with Kate’s level of communication. Kate also filled me in at the end of the evening about the activities they did, including leaving us a plate full of delicious brownies! (Yes – she even cleaned up all of the baking mess). She is great at responding to messages too. I do not hesitate to recommend Kate, as she is a great babysitter and I will definitely use her again. - Barbie W.
Kate says: Thank you Barbie for such an amazing review. It has been my pleasure to babysit Jasmine for you. Hope to being of service to you in the future. -Kate
Great sitter. Came home expecting unhappy toddlers because of a different sitter then they usually have and Kate had them both smiling and happy. Communication was great between us and she met our expectations just fine. - Connie K.
My children love Kate. She has babysat for me once, and we are scheduled to have her come again. Kate is a pleasant, cheerful, competent woman. She is obviously extremely comfortable with kids. She took my children to the park, cooked for them, got them settled in bed. And did I mention they all reported "We love Kate!" - Ruth W.
Kate says: I read this and I laughed. I really do love working with your kids. They are really fun and easy going. That is probably why they love me. Cant wait to see them over the weekend.
Kate is a wonderful babysitter! She walked into our house humming a tune, which eventually eased our 9 mo. baby to sleep at the end of their evening together. She is confident, caring, easy to get along with, and gently stern when necessary. We had immediate trust in her. Kate wasn't afraid to correct our older children (4 & 6 yrs) while we were still home, when they acted out of turn. She cooked them dinner, bathed them, and put them to bed. When we came home, we had a wonderful note detailing the entire night's events, and she even cleaned the children's playroom, which was a mess prior to her arrival. Kate is a gem....and we would highly recommend her to anyone. We have asked her back to care of our children next weekend as well. - Kristin D.
Kate watched my 2 sons for my first job I posted on sitter city and she did a wonderful job. My 2 boys had no complaints at all, we kept in contact before that Friday and all the way through the evening, and really made me feel secure leaving her with my sons. I will definitely have her watch my children again and would recommend her services to anyone in need of childcare. Thank you. - Jerome F.
Dealing with difficult kids is the hardest part of babysitting that is why a babysitter has to find the right approach to every child.
